Does anyone know if the Sword with your character's name on it available in the Targos shop actualy serves a purpose, or is it just for show?

Yeah, and you can get the Golden Heart of [CHARNAME] when playing in the Heart of Fury mode. Also, the name seems to be the one of the character who first gets it in their inventory, instead of using the leading character's name.

Actually, it's Heart of LastSpokenTo("Galloway") - so whatever character speaks to Galloway gets the name of the sword. It also will change after you buy it.

Odd.

It might be. I've only ever checked after talking with Galloway. In that case, though, the name would change everytime you talk to someone.

Yes, it's purpose is to be an awesome weapon. And I do believe that it is "Heart of <CHARNAME>".

Check the name after talking to Galloway. You'll see that it keeps changing. It can't be Heart of <CHARNAME>.

Let's revive the dead topic. Yes.

In my experience (though I am wrong on a daily basis), it's neither Heart of <CHARNAME> (especially since there is none in ID2; unless you mean Player1) or Heart of <Gabber>. Au contrariwise, in my games it's always Heart of <Wielder>, which means it will change name if transferred to another party member - not immediately, but after a little while.

(Although I could conceivably have used the new character as <Gabber> and thus funked my whole scheme up. And that's where me being on wrong on a daily basis enters the equation.)

Wouldn't it have been nice if the sword actually had a story and stuff to it? Assuming we could get it to only belong to one person?

The item files are called "Heart of CHARNAME" and "Golden Heart of "CHARNAME". The descriptions also contain the token CHARNAME as opposed to GABBER.

Of course, the IWD2 engine might treat CHARNAME differently from the other engine variants...
